A CAMPING WE SHALL GO!
Hello, this is Shanda Gaunt M.S. CCC/SLP and Manda Riebel M.A. CCC/SLP from Twin Sisters Speech and Language Therapy. We would like to thank Rose for letting us guest post at her blog today! A BIG happy 2nd BLOGANNIVERSARY to you- congratulations! We just love your blog- although for some reason we always feel hungry after reading your posts. J
We enjoy weekly themed speech and language therapy sessions at our clinic. We find that they are fun to put together, productive and extremely motivating for all our speech students. This week we did a camping theme!
Here are some pictures of a few of our activities:
Each session that we do is very individualized for every speech therapy student. We always make sure there are plenty of activities to pick and choose from. At the end of this post we will include credit and links to many of the activities that we will mention. This week we had the following activities planned:
-Scavenger hunt using a flashlight and backpack. Depending on the student, we used small play animals that could be found in the forest, articulation cards, phrase level cards and/or literacy targeted cards.
-Concepts on the door included a following directions activity, matching, colors, shapes, letters, numbers and the concept task of needing to recognize same and/or different.
-Fishing game from Super Duper for articulation targets, concepts and/or literacy targets.
-Painting camping from Oriental Trading Company and Magnetalk (from Super Duper) pictures while following directions, naming vocabulary and repeating sentences with grammar targets.
-Completing MagneTalk activities, which included vocabulary, following directions, concepts, deductive reasoning, auditory memory, categorizing and rhyming activities.
-Completed many versions of puzzles with vocabulary and numbering targets, letter and word tracing pages, and concept worksheets.
-Best of all we did what everyone likes to do most when they go camping………………………….MAKE S’MORES!
Making the s’mores were so much fun! The students always love it when we incorporate a cooking task into their speech therapy session. It’s such a great motivator for the student to know that when they are done with the tasks and goals planned for the session, that they get to cook and have a treat! We had them make their s’more by first naming the ingredients, listening and following directions, answering questions about the process, writing out the steps and using their senses to talk about what they had made.
Everyone really seemed to enjoy this week’s theme of camping at speechJ The s’mores were a big hit!
Thank you again to Rose for letting us guest post at your blog today! Congratulations on your blog birthday! Best wishes to you for many more.
